My three takeaways:
1. CSF imbalances are common in the population, and there are ways to correct it without medical intervention. 2. Pediatric adjusting is minimally invasive and there is not a one size fits all for treatment of the pediatric population. 3. Subluxations of the cranium are possible (something I did not realize before this class!)

Personally and professionally, this course has taught me that there is way more out there to learn about the chiropractic profession aside from what is taught in school. I didn’t know anything about SOT technique before this course, and in fact had not even heard of it. Thank you for teaching me there is always something new to learn in this profession.

I am not licensed yet, so I have not been able to apply these techniques aside from on a baby doll or skull model. However, this course has encouraged me to discuss with other docs about possible treatment options for infants and pediatric patients.

I would 100% recommend this course! It has taught me so much and I am so glad I stuck through and finished it, even with the hard times I’ve been going through.

You guys are awesome for what you’re doing! Thank you so much for the opportunity to learn and grow my expertise.

“I wanted to take this course to up level my ability to help the many pediatric (and also adult) members of my practice. I’ve taken a couple of your other courses and have really enjoyed implementing the things I learned to help some of my toughest cases begin to change in meaningful ways.

If you’re struggling with your spinal or upper cervical adjustments holding, cranial work can be the key to creating lasting change. Understanding how the cranium impacts nursing, development, stress etc. and how to gently correct imbalances is game changing for your effectiveness in pediatric practice. I learned so much here that isn’t available at school, and it has greatly improved my patient care.

I’m becoming known locally as the Dr who can help with things beyond back pain. Testimonials have become much more life changing and honestly performing the cranial work has allowed me to become more connected with my practice members.

I’ve been working with an entire family and two of their children have cranial distortions that have affected growth and development. Using the techniques learned in this class, we’ve been able to avoid a helmet for their youngest and their oldest is speaking more clearly and regulating much better than before.

SOT and cranial work in general often felt overwhelming to me because it was so different from diversified (the only technique taught at my school), but this course has broken it down into manageable and meaningful parts to be able to confidently use what you learn each and every week.

Thank you both for sharing your wisdom, I appreciate you and so do my practice members!”

“When I first started taking this course I was working for a doctor who was seeing a lot of pediatric patients at the time. I wanted to be able to help with these patients if need be. I saw what she was able to accomplish with my son the previous year and knew what a difference it made in our lives. I wanted to be able to provide that type of care for others as well. Since starting the course I ended up transitioning to my own practice. It has been a big change going from being an associate to a solo business owner. I ended up working with a lot of Amish babies who needed cranial work.

Self-paced can be great but it also does not allow for quick clarification or hands on feedback. Less is more with any form of chiropractic. Be precise. Don’t force something you’re working on… go with the least amount of resistance.

I have been able to see how important getting care early on is with babies in so many aspects of development that I didn’t even begin to comprehend beforehand. I can appreciate the work put into a pediatric practice and also know it’s not what I want to be doing right now. I can definitely still help babies and children more now than I could before which I am grateful for. I have experienced how this work can help all generations of life.

I have used the fruit jar technique and maxilla internal and external rotation with a lot of my patients. It has helped with draining and sinus issues. I have also seen TMJ issues improved and resolved in one case with the specific finger placements. I’ve seen ears drain within seconds after doing cranial work and overall improvements in patients reporting more calmness and less stress after CSF balancing.

I would recommend this course because all chiropractors should have some basis of CSF, cranial and exam work regarding babies and children.

There is so much to be learning in this course that you could take it 5 times and still be learning new things from it. It really shows how much dedication, experience and time that has been put into the field of pediatrics and how little we are taught in school. It is unfortunate we do not have this course worked into our curricula in school.

The dedication of Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson to sharing and teaching the knowledge they have gained over the years is humbling.”

“Bueno, decidí tomar este curso primero por la vasta experiencia del Dr Rosen y su profundo conocimiento en el cuidado pediátrico, a esto se agrega la capacidad de enseñar de manera detallada y específica cada elemento del programa de pediatría, pudiendo notar esto en la entrega que pone en cada una de sus clases, aclarando conceptos y dando ejemplos sobre cómo abordar en cada caso.

Además de todo esto, sentía que me faltaba un conocimiento más profundo sobre el manejo pediátrico, más allá de la formación de pregrado y los seminarios de fin de semana. Buscaba una formación con Certificación que fuese lo más completa posible y a la vez accesible desde un lugar tan remoto como Chile. Todo esto lo encontre en este programa del Dr Rosen y aún más.

1. Es un programa muy completo, que incluye manejo craneal y espinal, además de ofrecer demostraciones claras y precisas sobre las técnicas junto con ordenar de manera clara el contenido.
2. Permite el tiempo suficiente entre clase y clase para digerir el conocimiento así como también la posibilidad de aclarar dudas a través de las sesiones regulares de preguntas y respuestas.
3. Tiene una gradualidad temática muy ordenada, pasando de conceptos básicos, al análisis, ajustes y demostraciones hasta terminar en casos de razonamiento y condiciones específicas.

Ha cambiado totalmente la forma de trabajo en mi práctica, ya que si bien se enfoca en pediatría, ofrece herramientas que puedes aplicar desde el mismo dia que las aprendes también en adultos, a través de un abordaje más suave, menos resistido, de tipo tonal con respuestas más rápidas y duraderas en los pacientes.

Recuerdo un caso de un paciente con iliaco PI persistente que luego de los estudios con el programa, note que en realidad el problema de fondo era un sacro AI, aplique técnica sobre el ligamento Sacro-tuberoso y fue increíble como se fue notando la baja en la tension del ligamento así como la modificación de los indicadores a nivel de ligamento nucal. después de ese ajuste no hubo mas alteraciones en la zona Sacroiliaca. en el caso de niños, me ha tocado mas de un bebe con problemas de cólicos que resuelve tras el ajuste espinal.

Solo dar gracias al Dr Rosen y a la Dra Watson por su entrega, por su pasión al enseñar, por su paciencia para educar, por su esfuerzo en cuidar cada detalle, y espero, humildemente poder tener algo de esa chispa que brilla en los ojos de ellos cada vez que hablan de Quiropráctica, Dios les bendiga y sigan enseñando a muchas generaciones mas esta hermosa profesión.”

“I took this course to further my learning from the in-person series.

This work is life changing. The information is robust and doesn’t all sink in at once so multiple passes is so helpful. This is the thing that unlocks the tough cases.

Learning this work has changed how I practice and where I focus. I have had babies have major changes quickly but the most surprising has been the adults that had improvement on issues they’ve struggled with through their life.

I took care of 4 month old baby with torticollis who came into care with a helmet appointment scheduled the next week for plagiocephaly. One adjustment made huge visual changes, parents were shocked. Helmet measurements were taken and deemed not enough for intervention but watch and see. After one month of care, he graduated PT, did not need a helmet and caught up on milestones. And his laryngomalacia improved after the first visit.

This course is well designed and full of information that will change your practice and life.

Working with Drs. Rosen and Watson is like unlocking a new level in practice. Patients get better, lives change.

Thank you!”
